If the ultimate mystery of the divine and the mystery of man’s true nature, is beyond intellectual comprehension, and if belief can also be intellectually dissatisfying, there is yet another possible way to make the Christian journey. This alternative path is the experiential option or contemplative route, which is as old as Christianity itself. The benefit of this route is that the intellect can hold out (or go without) until some form of enlightenment or understanding is forthcoming – or even, until the intellect is transcended. But not many people know about this option, and this ignorance I think is the most regrettable aspect of Christianity.
